Kicking of the Year With Snacks, Supplies, and Encouragement!

Help me give my students snacks, supplies, classroom encouragement, and prizes for succeeding!

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Connor's classroom raised $285

This project is fully funded

My Project

Help me give my students some things to start off the new school year! I am asking for some supplies to give to students when they are missing essential school supplies.

I am also asking for some snacks to give to students when they are hungry so they can continue working instead of focusing on their empty stomachs!

Lastly, I am asking for some decorations to encourage students to keep trying and keep reading! My students are not good readers and typically need a lot of encouragement to keep them focused and trying!

Mrs. Connor Brookside Middle School Grades 6-8
